    An Essential Oil Guide

    The essential oils should be the heart of todays fragrances. Unfortunately a regulatory body has banned mostof them. A hundred years ago a fine fragrance would employ close to one hundred percent of natural materi-als, and the construction of the fragrance would be quite simple. Today most fine fragrances employ lessthen one percent of natural materials. The balance is made up of artificially recreated bases and synthetic rawmaterials. Many fragrances smell alike due in part of utilizing synthetic materials. This in the end leads tolarge numbers of product failures.

    A simple solution would be to incorporate a simple warning label that the product contains the followingessential oils, and list the materials. A consumer can then make an informed decision as to whether to pur-chase the product. Instead this regulatory agency passed several amendments banning many essential oilsdue to components that can cause skin rashes.

    Most fragrance houses employ chemists, and gas chromatography computers. The complexity of any fra-grance can be analyzed to the smallest detail with several hours of work. Each fragrance is a unique pieceof artwork, and the composition should be pushed to explain the creativity behind the scent. Instead a per-fume house guards this detail with few folks ever seeing it. The only individuals who understand a fragranceare of course the noses. This in part is the industrys problem.

    Perfume houses with schools today are teaching students the synthetics. How does one understand a synthet-ic aroma material if you dont understand the natural source?
